Printing to a Xerox Document Centre 332 (escape seq.)

2004-05-05 Thread Bob Collins
We have a Xerox Document Centre 332 on our network. LPD is running on
it. I can send print jobs to it from the FBSD boxes, however I get the
staircase effect. I cannot find at Xerox, nor Googling the escape
sequence required to curtail the staircase effects.

Has anyone figured this out? And if so, would you be willing to share
the codes?

Thank you

I don't know the escape codes for this printer, but you can work around
this by installing a filter on LPD that converts newlines to LFCR.
There's got to be 1000 howtos on the 'net on how to do this:

You might also just install magicfilter or apsfilter.

I think it's in the Handbook printing section.  But I'd suggest just
printing in PostScript, since most larger printers and copiers already
have it.  Enscript is pretty good for formatting most types of plain
text.

LPRng and ifhp from ports also works well...

Ifhp seems to be a good filter ... 
throw all sortsa files at it and they print just fine.
